    After a long drive into Starkville for a wedding weekend, we needed a chill meal and a good drink,…read moreand Restaurant Tyler delivered. Our server knew the menu inside out and struck that perfect balance of attentive without hovering, especially after we told him we wanted to take our time. Cocktails were spot‑on, and the barbecue fried okra was a fun twist -- crispy, well‑seasoned, and dusted with barbecue‑chip magic. I went for the lamb ragu with local sweet potato gnocchi. Very good, though the sweet potato flavor was subtler than expected. My husband's burger, on the other hand, was a full‑on showstopper. The bacon jam and pimento cheese turned it into a glorious, oozy mess. Fries got high marks too. We grabbed a slice of carrot cake to go -- dense, moist, studded with toasted pecans -- and it was the perfect ending.

    Promising menu in an aesthetic establishment, but unfortunately Restaurant Tyler was understaffed…read moreand overwhelmed. We visited Restaurant Tyler over the Mississippi State vs Missouri game day weekend on a Friday night around 7pm. We tried several times to make a reservation online, even days before, and finally called to reserve a spot over the phone, but we were told they do not make reservations on game day weekends. With that in mind, we anticipated a wait but expected the restaurant to be prepared accordingly. That assumption was incorrect. When we arrived, there were several tables on the patio and throughout the building spread with dirty dishes and in need of cleaning - they were in dire need of a busboy. The hostess was very kind and working extremely hard to get people seated, she cleared a table for us near the front bar area and we were seated within probably 10 minutes of arrival which was not bad. From there however, we sat for at least 15-20 more minutes at our table and were never greeted by any server or even offered water. We eventually decided to leave as it was clear that we wouldn't be receiving any service anytime soon. I do not fault the wait staff in this, they were obviously very overwhelmed and understaffed, but it is disappointing that management did not better prepare for what should have been expected to be a busy weekend. Allowing reservations during a highly anticipated weekend only makes sense, even if only a limited number of reservations so that walk-ins can still be accepted. We were really looking forward to trying this spot out and were disappointed by our experience.

    While seeking an exceptional spot for lunch in Starkville today, I stumbled upon The Little Dooey,…read moreand it proved to be a thoroughly delightful discovery! Though the venue is intimate in size, the decor is delightfully charming, creating a wonderfully authentic and inviting atmosphere. I was seated in a cozy, private section that offered the perfect setting for a quiet, relaxed luncheon. The ambiance and overall vibe were simply marvelous. The service was top-tier from start to finish attentive, remarkably gracious, and warm. To accompany my meal, I ordered a classic, crisp Coca-Cola served ice-cold. For my course, I selected the fried catfish accompanied by fries. When the platter arrived, it was an absolute triumph! The catfish was cooked to flawless perfectio crisp, tender, extraordinarily fresh, and seasoned with real mastery. It made for a deeply comforting and completely satisfying meal that exceeded every expectation. Between the pristine preparation, charming atmosphere, and flawless hospitality, The Little Dooey earns absolute full marks from me. A complete success I shall most certainly be returning whenever I am in town

They did have a wide variety of BBQ sauces to choose from, which was a nice touch and helped make the pork a little more enjoyable. The fried okra was actually pretty well prepared, but the coleslaw tasted like something you could pick up at a regular grocery store. Overall, it was an experience, but unfortunately, it just wasn't the BBQ we were hoping for.

Jacob P. Was our server and he was awesome. He explained the menu to us and gave us feedback on what he would recommend of the options we gave. He was constantly checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed. We started with the chips and queso. It was good, but nothing to write home about. Just your normal chips and queso. I had the catfish lagniappe and it was SUPERB! I loved the blackened catfish over the grits with the yummy crawfish sauce. The flavor combinations were on point and I throughly enjoyed every single bite! My husband had the Caribbean steak and really loved the flavor of the steak, but it was cooked a little more than the medium he asked for. The flavor made up for it though and he cleaned his plate. We both had the honey bacon brussel sprouts which were very tender and tasty as well. Pro tip, make sure to get all the yummy sauce that settles in the bottom. My son had the chicken Alfredo pasta along with a Caesar salad and he enjoyed his as well. If you're ever in the Starkville area, I highly recommend you give this place a try.

It proved to be a magnificent decision! From the exterior, the establishment presents an inviting, polished presence, and stepping inside only elevates the experience. The entire venue is impeccably pristine, boasting a wonderfully refined and spotless ambiance. I opted to take a seat at the bar and kitchen area, which features a brilliant, well-appointed setup. The service was prompt, professional, and delightfully warm from the start. The bartender, Hannah, was absolute perfection attentive, gracious, and extraordinarily welcoming. Upon her prompt inquiry, I ordered a Blueberry Minitini, which was mixed flawlessly, crisp, and utterly divine.
